Hieromartyr Irineu, Bishop of Sirmium, refused to offer pagan sacrifices, boldly declaring his faith in Christ before Emperor Maximian. Despite threats and torture, he remained steadfast, converting many. When pressed to honor idols, he prayed, causing them to crumble. Enraged, Maximian ordered his beheading in 304 AD. May #Irineu intercede for us, that we may remain strong in faith. Holy Irineu, pray to #God for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #Martyr
